One wonders why.
Now remember, it was Oscar Wilde who shut his cat up in the bedroom with no sanitary facilities, and then got all bent out of shape when the poor cat pissed on him.

So tell me again exactly when the Civil War ended
I pity the millions of informed, civilized Southerners who have to live alongside morons who think the confederate flag is a banner handed down by God.
Not to mention having to live with knuckle dragging Rethug senators and congresspeople who are intent on destroying unions, promoting ignorance by talking about "pointy-headed liberals," furthering bigotry with thinly veiled racial remarks, and who just can't wait for some flimsy reason to try to impeach Obama.
These are people who seem to thrive on hatred, divisiveness and exploiting easily-manipulated, uneducated people.
The Civil War supposedly ended almost 144 years ago. But for many die-hard imbeciles, and those who endlessly exploit them, it still goes on.
Can anyone tell me when the social/educational/ethical values of the South will enter the 20th century? -- Not to mention the 21st?
What brought on this rant is the Southern senator's votes against the auto "bail out" which is nothing more than their effort to destroy the UAW (not to mention all other unions).
To repeat my opening remark, I know there are millions of intelligent, progressive Southerners. So before anyone throws me any "picking on Southerners" crap, ask yourself why the majority of elected Southern politicians are grotesque fugitives from the dark ages.
I dunno.
It may just be me, but I've always found southern Republicans to be just as up-to-date, just as modern, just as forward-thinking, just as state-of-the-art, and much more tolerant and less judgemental, more decent and civilized than most non-southern Democrats, liberals, and primitives.
Shove that up your ass and smoke it, Oscar.

1. The thugs' southern strategy of appealing to the racists in Dixie has been masterful.
They keep winning because the majority of people down there are racist.
Growing up in southern Virginia, I know of what I speak.
IF the majority were not backward and racist, would not more progressive pols win?
The fault lies not with the geography but with the humans that inhabit it.
A lot of blah-blah-blahery in the bonfire, and then this:

21. Here we go again
us poor folks in the south being picked on again. It don't matter one bit that it was the Democrat party that was pro slavery, Jim Crow, KKK and segregation. I wish the dip shits would read a little history and come to terms on just what party ended slavery. I have my own reasons not to like the Republican party, mostly big business trumps the working man, but when it comes to civil rights, the Democrat party owes alot of apologies.
